At a level of 50 g CO 2eq per kWh electricity for battery charging, which corresponds to an electricity supply mainly from renewables and/or nuclear, which few countries such as Norway, France, Brazil and Sweden exhibit, BEV reduce GHG emissions by around two thirds today and more than 50% in 2040.
In the United States, our cost assessment finds that recycling cells with a nominal capacity of 1 kWh –the useful capacity of a battery at end-of-life is usually between 60 and 80% of nominal capacity– costs $6.8 to $8.6. These costs are fairly small compared to cell manufacturing costs of $94.5 kWh −1.
Within this transformation, battery costs are considered a main hurdle for the market-breakthrough of battery-powered products. Encouraged by this, various studies have been published attempting to predict these, providing the reader with a large variance of forecasted cost that results from differences in methods and assumptions.
Results for cell manufacturing in the United States show total cell costs of $94.5 kWh −1, a global warming potential (GWP) of 64.5 kgCO 2 eq kWh −1, and combined environmental impacts (normalizing and weighing 16 impact categories) of 4.0 × 10 −12 kWh −1. Material use contributes 69% to costs and 93% to combined environmental impacts.
For reducing combined environmental impacts, low scrap rates and recycling are vital. Providing a balanced economic and environmental look for the battery industry will, as for other industries, become more crucial as legislation and society demand measures to make the global economy more sustainable.
For illustration, the Tesla Model 3 holds an 80 kWh lithium-ion battery. CO 2 emissions for manufacturing that battery would range between 2400 kg (almost two and a half metric tons) and 16,000 kg (16 metric tons). 1 Just how much is one ton of CO 2?

Deciding whether to shift battery production away from locations with emission-intensive electric grids, despite lower costs, involves a challenging balancing act. On the one hand, relocating to cleaner energy sources can significantly reduce the environmental impact of GHG emission-intensive battery production process (6, 14).
Recent studies have shown that the share of the battery cost inside an EV application is projected to decrease from almost half of the cost of the vehicle in 2016 to less than 20% in 2030 [3]. Moreover, the introduction of EVs on the market is raising questions regarding the battery cost and its impact on CC (climate change) [2, 4].
